Preparing for the installation
Before beginning the installation, you need to gather
information about your networking environment and verify
that your firewalls are properly configured to permit traffic to
and from the appliance as explained in the following sections:
•
Gathering information
•
Verifying your firewall policies
Gathering information
Before configuring the appliance, you need to gather the
following information. You are prompted for some of this
information when running the Setup Wizard, but most of it will
be used when you configure the appliance in the Appliance
Management Console (AMC). Refer to the SMA Administration
Guide.
Settings required to start Appliance Management Console
•
The root password for administering the appliance
•
The name for the appliance (because this name is used
only in log files, you do not need to add it to DNS)
•
The internal IP address and, optionally, an external IP
address

•
Select a routing mode and supply IP addresses for the
network gateways to the Internet, and your corporate
network.
Certificate information
Several pieces of information are used to generate the server
and AMC certificates:
•
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the appliance
and for any WorkPlace sites that use a unique name.
These names should be added to your public DNS; they
are also visible to users when they connect to Web-
based resources.
•
A FQDN for the Appliance Management Console (AMC)
server. The AMC server name is used to access AMC,
which is a Web-based tool for administering the
appliance.
Name lookup information
•
Internal DNS domain name of the network to which the
appliance is connected
•
Primary internal DNS server address (additional DNS
servers are optional)
•
IP address for an internal WINS server and the name of
your Windows domain (required to browse files on a
Windows network using WorkPlace, but are otherwise
optional)
